D2R2 2012?

[Zack]

Anyone doing it?  

I am on the fence.  I am considering doing the 100k, but am not sure I am up for it.  

If I do go, I will be riding my Hunq, not sure which tires though.  I have the bruce gordon rock and roads, marathon supreme 50's and a set of the marathon dureme 40's.  Prob would be the R&R's.  

It looks like a beautiful ride, but I am a bit intimidated by all the hype surrounding it (i.e. that it's the hardest ride you'll ever do, etc.).  I like to ride, but I don't like to slog.

Registered but not going. I'm kind of resetting the clock for the remainder of the year.

Give it a try. 
The full 180K is a leg buster, and that's the route everyone has in mind when they talk of how hard D2R2 is.   
The 100k is not easy, but it's a much more manageable route, and there are bailout points throughout. 
All that aside, D2R2 a great event.  Friendly crowd, lot o' of beautiful bikes, good food, beer.   It's the highlight of my bike calendar.

I'll be doing the 115K this year.  Hope to see you there.

Do it.  there is some climbing, but it's the beautiful, soulful i-love-cycling kind of climbing.  if it becomes a slog, bailout and ride back to the start or pick up the shorter route.  pack some swimming trunks and hit some swimming holes along the way.  just enjoy the scenery and vibe - it's an incredibly well run and well supported event.  can't say enough good things about it.  wish i could make it again this year.  the 180k is one of my all time favorite rides.
